A  Dyslexic Banker

I was just wondering if there are any people that are dyslexic in IB, VC, PE, and etc. I’m dyslexic and I’m a freshman in college; wanting to go into IB. Just wanted to know if anyone was too and see how it is for them and does it sometimes make it difficult for them.

I'm not dyslexic, but as long as you can catch typos with spellcheck and make sure numbers are right you'll be fine. If you're even looking at IB, I also think any other remotely related careers you'd be interested in (consulting etc.) wouldn't have more/less challenges, so definitely go for it and don't let it hold you back. 

 

so how does it feel to be diagnosed with dailysex? haha

jokes aside, you should be fine as long as you are able to catch errors while typing (red lines and stuff) + grammarly will be your bestfriend. Plus, im pretty sure you should be fine with math because that's another condition (i think its called dyscalculia...?)

Obviously don't mention it during interviews.
